Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes August 14, 2019 Page 3 approval outlined in the staff report including Attachments A — E, Mr. Bakalla seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Sixth Item of Business: BA 19-04: 226 Overbrook Drive. A variance request to Section 2-5.4, Table 2.5.4 of the ULDR to reduce the 204 rear yard setback to 104 to allow a shed. Ms. Christina Hyson, Planner II, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated August 14, 2019, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Hyson said the variance application to reduce the rear lot line setback for placement of a shed (BA 19-04) meets the eleven "test of variance" criteria for granting a variance to the City's land development regulations. Ms. Hyson said staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the variance request, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. The variance shall only pertain to the proposed shed as displayed in Attachment B. 2. A building permit for the construction of the proposed shed shall be obtained within six (6) months of variance approval. 3. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the variance shall become null and void. After a brief discussion regarding the City Code prohibiting sheds from being placed in the front yard, Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Ms. Martha Malaver, 226 Overbrook Drive, Casselberry, Florida, came forward. There were no questions for the applicant. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. Bruce Karp, 232 Overbrook Drive, Casselberry, Florida, came forward. Mr. Karp expressed concerns with flooding issues on his property, if the shed was placed in the proposed location. He suggested the shed be placed on the opposite side of the proposed location. The Commission questioned the science behind Mr. Karp's claims that the location of the proposed shed would impact his property. Ms. Hyson reviewed the location of the proposed shed. She explained that the shed meets the side yard setback; however, the variance requested is for the rear yard setback. A general discussion ensued regarding changing the location of the proposed shed to the opposite side of the property. Mr. Karp left the meeting after the audience participation portion of the meeting. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address BA 19-04. Mr. Phillips made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the variance application to reduce the rear lot line setback for placement of a shed. BA
